Most Britons Back Cutting Benefits to Fund Defence, Poll Finds
Graphic: BriefTea
A majority of Britons would back cutting benefits to pay for more defence spending, a new More in Common poll suggests ahead of Wednesday's Budget. Some 57% said the trade-off was worth it, rising to 78% of Conservative voters and 76% of Reform voters. Younger people and those struggling with living costs mostly opposed the idea, piling fresh pressure on Chancellor John Healey this week.
